Integrated Approaches

Midlife transitions touch every layer of who we are: body, mind, and spirit. That’s why the R.I.S.E. Women’s Circle blends diverse, trauma-informed practices that create space for growth, healing, and renewal.

Within our two-hour sessions, you may experience:

  • Breathwork – to calm the nervous system, ground your body, and release stress.

  • Somatic Practices – reconnecting with your body to gently process stored tension and emotion.

  • EFT (Tapping) – shifting emotional patterns and soothing overwhelm.

  • Guided Meditation & Hypnosis – creating new subconscious pathways for resilience and confidence.

  • Sound Healing – harmonizing body and mind through vibration and frequency.

  • Coaching Tools – structured exercises, reframes, and strategies for navigating transitions with clarity.

Alongside live sessions, participants receive exclusive access to the Coaching Tools Library, which includes:

  • Workbooks and guided exercises

  • eBooks and practical resources

  • Audio meditations and self-hypnosis recordings

  • Worksheets and reflection prompts

This integrative approach ensures each circle is both reflective and practical: offering tools you can carry into everyday life, while also providing ongoing resources for deeper transformation beyond the circle.

"I attended a sound healing group session with Deanna and one of her colleagues and was completely blown away by the experience. The way the sound moved through the room was unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I left lighter, calmer, and more connected to myself than I have in years. It was truly transformative."
